“Neu5Gc is similar in structure to Neu5Ac, a sialic acid produced in the human body. Due to this similarity, Neu5Gc is handled by the body's biochemical pathways as native. However, the body's immune system recognizes Neu5Gc as foreign and produces antibodies.”

“It also participates in many biological processes driving pregnancy outcomes, maintaining bone mineral density and muscle mass in older adults, improving neurological function, and aiding the immune system to fight cancer.”

“TBHQ—harms the immune system. Titanium dioxide—a color additive shown to cause DNA damage. Brominated vegetable oil—a stabilizer used in flavored drinks that can cause neurological harm.”

“The Hannum clock "The Hannum clock is best understood as an adult blood-based epigenetic age clock: highly useful for studying blood and immune-system aging, but not a universal tissue clock.".”

“Endocannabinoids and Endorphins Finally, there are endocannabinoids and endorphins. Endocannabinoids are naturally produced compounds that bind to receptors throughout the brain and immune system—the same receptors activated by cannabinoids like THC and CBD.”

“Neurological system "The researchers also noted the activation of pro-inflammatory proteins like NF-κB and apoptotic markers, suggesting that microplastics might be able to cross the blood-brain barrier and trigger immune responses and cell death in microglial cells".”

“So far, the field has yet to overcome the problem of rejection of transplanted tissues by the immune system. However, with multiplex editing or genome writing, genetically engineered organs from pigs that resist rejection may revolutionize medicine.”

“Repeated heat exposure might briefly increase immune surveillance while promoting a less inflammatory baseline environment over time. That model is biologically plausible but has not been directly demonstrated. The respiratory evidence remains preliminary.”

“Whole-body hyperthermia – a different temperature modality currently being investigated for depression. Episodes and clips How Cryotherapy Affects the Brain, the Immune System, Metabolism, and Athletic Performance – an audio-only podcast discussing some of the benefits of cold exposure.”
